James Lavelle and German filmmaker Norbert Schoerner have collaborated on a video for Unkle’s song The Road, the title track of its just-announced fifth studio album The Road Part 1.

The video is the second time the two have worked together following Norbert’s VR experience Das Problem der Befahrung des Weltraums for Daydreaming With… Stanley Kubrick, last year’s exhibition at Somerset House co-curated by James. He approached Norbert to work on this latest project to bring his “reputation for innovation and imaginative distortion of convention”.

Filmed using a drone “unleashed” on the American wilderness, the video for The Road travels through desolate landscapes bathed in dramatic light and shadow, navigating a series of scenes from all angles. Director Norbert and executive producer James have applied what they call a “post-apocalyptic sensibility and edit”, producing the film which they say “describes the ever present conflict between natural landscape and human progress”.

Inventive director Oscar Hudson has directed the latest Radiohead video for Lift produced by Pulse Films. The track was originally a B-Side recorded during the OK Computer sessions and unreleased until 2017 on the 20-year anniversary release of the album OKNOTOK 1997 2017 .

Bompas and Parr has created a short film and series of photographs in collaboration with Addie Chinn that explore the relationship between humans and hunger. Man vs Gut records the stomach grumbles and rumbles of a host of subjects who had been asked to fast for 10 days before the shoot. “The project captures the sensations of pleasure when each participant took their first bite, how their hands guided food into their mouth and what emotions were felt during those moments of anticipation, joy and relief,” say the duo.

Every month, ten people descend upon a basement studio in Dublin’s historic Merrion Square. The streets are lined with grand Georgian houses and pristine iron gates protect a well-kept public park. Each person is there to attend a two-day workshop organised by a tenaciously talented Welsh woman in order to learn how to make film props.

Filmmaking sister duo Emily and Alice Stein have returned to Emily’s photo series on young ballroom dancers, extrapolating on the subject with a heart-warming short film. Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer focuses on one Neopolitan pair, Francesco Cesario and Chiara Morgese. It shows them in action, poised and immaculate, as well as giving glimpses to Chiara’s normal life. Shining a light on details such as her lace socks and Disney wallpaper, the film subtly contrasts the two sides of its subjects in a charming way.

Like most of us, filmmaker Greg Barth was left shocked by 2016. “It was the year I realised how divided we are as people” he says, explaining the premise for his latest self-initiated film Epic Fail with Blinkink. “Facebook algorithmically pairs us with like-minded people, that fortify our opinions rather than challenging them, so my social network circles were a falsely reassuring place to be during the Brexit and Trump votes. Without realising, I was browsing an alternate reality online, which I found fascinating and completely horrifying.”
